Pony Express

Historic mail delivery on horseback

The Pony Express was a fast mail service that operated in the United States from April 1860 to October 1861. It used a relay of horse riders to deliver mail across 1,900 miles between Missouri and California. Despite its short run, it became famous for its speed and played a vital role in communication before the telegraph.
